+**Mineral Rights** are the legal entitlement to explore, extract, and profit from a specific deposit of minerals below the surface of a tract of land. Distinct from [Surface Rights](/wiki/surface_rights), these rights can be sold, leased, or inherited separately from the land itself, often involving a [Royalty](/wiki/royalty) payment to the owner.
